I quite like the idea of the brexit horde of ***** being incinerated by alien lasers
We don't mind cursing but that's taking it a bit far so please show some decency.

It's a joint production between the BBC and HBO, so it should be showing in both the UK and North America at around the same time.
Oh really? Nice. I wonder if this deal was struck when HBO scooped up New Who.
No idea, but they seem to be working together on a number of productions. Not 100% sure, but IIRC, HBO has a hand in the upcoming His Dark Materials adaptation too.
